SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection...
I am trying to set up a TestSuite in soupUI that invokes a web service on a IBM z/VSE based system. The SOAP services are running as part of CICS Transaction Server for z/VSE under the CICS Web Support feature. The CICS Web Support is configured for SSL and the web service is functioning properly when invoked via an HTTPS request from a .NET application. When I set up the request in soupUI I get the following error...

Oddly enough, I can use soupUI to perform HTTPS requests to other platforms (i.e. Microsoft IIS) without an issue. I am only having this issue with the CICS Web Support running on the z/VSE mainframe system. As I stated early though, the CICS Web Support is accessable from other platforms and the only place I'm having an issue is within soupUI. I have tried this with soupUI 3.6, 3.6.1 and the latest nightly build of 3.6.2 (as of 10/20/2010). All generate the same exception.
Any ideas? Is there something I can do to debug this further on the soupUI side? I am already looking into performing internal TCP/IP stack traces on the z/VSE host to get more information.

Ken
